| Scope of this disclosure | This disclosure covers the Spring Program (February 2027), which Eigo Pro LLC sells. What we provide is an educational program; accommodation and local transport are components included in that program. The Summer Program (August 2026) is UC San Diego's program; Eigo Pro acts only as the Japan-side application contact. See the "About the Summer Program (August 2026)" row at the end of this table. |
| Program name and content | Future Global Leaders (FGL) Spring Program 2027 - 3-week course: February 7-27, 2027 (includes the intensive English seminar week, February 8-12) - 2-week course: February 14-27, 2027 (a separate cohort from the 3-week course) An educational program built around graduate-level lectures and small-group seminars taught by faculty of the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS), combined with field trips and extracurricular activities. |
| Program fee | Spring Program fee (per person) - 3-week course: USD 4,985 (includes the JPY 43,400 application fee) - 2-week course: USD 4,150 (includes the JPY 43,400 application fee) Japanese consumption tax does not apply (out-of-scope for JCT — services provided outside Japan). Reference conversion at JPY 150/USD: approx. JPY 750,000 (3-week) and approx. JPY 620,000 (2-week). The JPY figure is a reference value only; the actual conversion rate is set on or around December 15, 2026, and the yen amount stated on the invoice issued by Eigo Pro LLC is the amount payable. For participants whom Eigo Pro LLC invoices in US dollars, the program fee stated above is invoiced in US dollars as is, with no conversion to yen. In that case, the application fee included in the program fee is USD 290. |
| Included in the program fee | The Spring Program fee includes: Graduate-level lectures and seminars taught by UC San Diego GPS faculty; accommodation at the Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego La Jolla with breakfast each morning; airport transfers and local transport during the program; field trips to companies and research institutions; extracurricular activities; course materials; 24-hour Japanese/English support while on site; and a certificate of completion. |
| Not included / additional costs | The Spring Program fee does not include: Round-trip airfare between your place of residence and San Diego (participants purchase their own tickets), overseas travel insurance, lunch and dinner, personal transport outside the program, and personal expenses such as souvenirs and communications. Bank transfer fees (on international wires, the sending fee plus intermediary and receiving bank charges) are borne by the participant. |
| Payment method | Bank transfer against an invoice issued by Eigo Pro LLC. If your invoice is in Japanese yen, pay by bank transfer in yen. If your invoice is in US dollars, pay by international wire in US dollars, adding the bank charges so that the amount Eigo Pro LLC receives equals the invoiced amount. Account details are stated on the invoice. No other payment method (credit card, etc.) is accepted. |
| Payment timing | - Application fee (JPY 43,400 on a yen invoice; USD 290 on a US-dollar invoice): Eigo Pro LLC issues the invoice after your application; the fee is due by the third day after the invoice date (weekends and holidays included; for example, an invoice dated November 2 is due by November 5). It is applied toward the Spring Program fee. - Balance of the program fee: due by January 10, 2027. |
| Service provision period | The Spring Program runs on the following dates: - 3-week course: February 7-27, 2027 - 2-week course: February 14-27, 2027 Detailed schedules are provided after your application is accepted. |
| How to apply / application deadline | Apply through the application page on this site (https://fgl.academy/apply). The application deadline is December 15, 2026. All applications are made by the student through the application page on this site, not through their university. Where a university has its own internal procedure (for academic credit or internal selection), that procedure is outside this contract and is governed by that university's own rules. If your university has such a procedure, please contact the relevant office and complete that procedure before applying. |
| Cancellation and refund terms | Cancellation of the Spring Program is handled as follows: - 45 or more days before the start date of the program applied for (3-week program: February 7, 2027; 2-week program: February 14, 2027): the program fee is refunded in full, less the application fee per person (JPY 43,400 on a yen invoice; USD 290 on a US-dollar invoice). - Less than 45 days before that start date: the program fee is not refundable. The application fee is non-refundable once transferred. Exception: if a participant is not a Japanese national and is unable to obtain a visa, the application fee is refunded provided the request is made at least 14 days before the start date of the program applied for. If the program itself is cancelled, all monies including the application fee are refunded. If you paid in US dollars, every refund under this row (cancellation, visa not obtained, or program cancellation) is made in US dollars, in the same US-dollar amount paid for the refundable portion. Exchange-rate differences and the outgoing transfer fee for the refund are borne by Eigo Pro LLC. To keep the program's price structure sustainable, apart from the exceptions provided above, these terms are applied strictly. This service is a mail-order sale (通信販売), so the statutory cooling-off right does not apply; the terms in this row govern cancellations and refunds. |
| Non-performance / program cancellation | Eigo Pro LLC may cancel the program if the number of participants is insufficient or if unforeseen circumstances prevent it from being held. In that case the full amount paid, including the application fee, is refunded. If the service is not provided due to causes attributable to Eigo Pro LLC, the full amount paid, including the application fee, will be refunded, or an alternative service will be offered. If you paid in US dollars, the refunds above are made in US dollars, in the same US-dollar amount paid. Exchange-rate differences and the outgoing transfer fee for the refund are borne by Eigo Pro LLC. Eigo Pro LLC is not responsible for additional costs a participant incurs in connection with their own travel, such as flight delays or cancellations, illness, non-refundable air tickets, or penalties arising from changing or cancelling tickets. |
| About the Summer Program (August 2026) | The Summer Program (August 9-22, 2026; applications are now closed) is UC San Diego's program. UC San Diego sets the fee and issues the invoice. Eigo Pro LLC acts only as the Japan-side application contact and is not the seller of that program. - Fee: USD 3,470 (USD 75 application fee + USD 1,400 program fee + USD 1,995 housing and meals) - Included: UC San Diego GPS lectures, on-campus dormitory housing, three meals a day at the campus dining halls, field trips, on-site support from UC San Diego staff (in English), Japanese-language support from FGL during Japan business hours, course materials, and a certificate of completion - Not included: round-trip airfare between Japan and San Diego, overseas travel insurance, personal transport outside the program, and other personal expenses - Cancellation, refunds, and related inquiries: contact Greg Mallinger at UC San Diego GLI (Global Leadership Institute), [email protected] |
